Shane’s Free Pick

The Sparks have a ton of confidence heading into this game after being able to knock off the Aces in the last game, and they are going to be able to ride that momentum here. The Mercury’s offense has been an issue heading into this game, and they are going to really struggle to score here. The Sparks are going to have little issues with the defense here, and they are going to get the job done. Back the Sparks against the spread.
